fly fishing wallet
« on: January 02, 2023, 02:10:18 AM »
Made this as a gift for my girlfriends father. a little 3"x5" fly fishing wallet. (sheep's wool to hold the flys) using light 2/3oz leather and waxed linen thread, this is the perfect size to drop in your pocket for an afternoon of fishing!

Very nicely done but I would need something ten times that size when I go on the water for even a short time ;D

Super cool, Jay! I love this kinda stuff made to be used outdoors in the modern world, but with that 18th Century historic flair...
